Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y=3x-1

The standard equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.

Given that y=3x-1, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 3, Two lines with slope a and b are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1 i.e. ab = -1. Let the line perpendicular to y=3x-1 be d, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

3 × d = -1

d = -1/3

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

y-y_1=d(x-x_1)\\d\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-\frac{1}{3} (x-0)\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x

To find  x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x\\ 4=-\frac{1}{3}x\\-x=12\\x=-12

b) y=1/4 x+2

Given that y=1/4 x+2, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 1/4. Let the line perpendicular to y=1/4 x+2 be f, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

1/4 × f = -1

f = -4

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

y-y_1=f(x-x_1)\\f\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-4 (x-0)\\y=-4x

To find  x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

y=-4}x\\ 4=-4x\\x=-1

Answer:

we conclude that in the second step, 3 should have been subtracted from the right side as well on the left side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

4 < -2x + 3 < 9

SECOND STEP

subtract 3 from the right-hand side as well as on the left-hand side

4-3

SOLVING THE REMAINING COMPLETE COMPRESSION

1 < -2x < 6

Divide all parts by -2

  • Please note that multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number flips the inequality sign.

so the expression becomes

\frac{1}{-2}\:

\frac{1}{-2}\:>x\:

Hence, from the explanation, we conclude that in the second step, 3 should have been subtracted from the right side as well on the left side.
